State Exam Results - Elementary School Graduates - 5eme/6eme AF

The results for the government exams for 6eme
AF (last year of elementary school) have been released. The national pass rate
is 77%, which is a good average. Out of 105,141 candidates who wrote the exams
in the West department (of which Port-au-Prince is part of) 81,089 candidates
passed. For the 2nd consecutive year our students completed 2 years in one (5eme
and 6eme AF) and for the 2nd year we had a 100% pass rate. All 12 of our
students passed the state exams. We registered our students along with the Ecole
Evangeliste and in total 32 out of the 33 students passed. Sherri Fausey is an
American missionary who has a school in the Delmas 31 neighborhood as well had a
100% pass rate for the 26 students that her school sent to the state exams. It
looks good for our Delmas 31 neighborhood. We have good schools and good
teachers at these schools. Pray for the students as they prepare for secondary
school :) Attached are some photos of 2 of our teacher leaders at our school Jn.
Eddy Alexandre, and Josue Marcelin. Josue Marcelin is the teacher of the
Grade5/6 class. On the last day of classes in June we had a parent/teacher
meeting and the graduating class was presented with haitian creole bibles ( a
gift from bibles that were donated to us from Providence United Reformed Church
in Strathroy. After completing their education here at Coram Deo we hope to
place them in a christian secondary school in our neighborhood Ecole
Evangeliste. Pray that we can find sponsors for this year graduating
class.

Jn. Eddy Alexandre
and Josue Marcelin are the leaders of our school program here at Coram Deo. Jn.
Eddy is responsible for the 3eme/4eme AF and Josue Marcelin (Amos' older
brother) is responsible for the 5eme/6eme AF program.

Our elementary
school graduates for 2013. All 11 students wrote and passed their state exams.
Not only did they their state exams but they completed 2 years of education in
one year, completing both 5eme and 6eme AF :)

For the 2nd year in
a row we had a school pass rate of 100% in the state exams.

The students worked
hard this year, studying extra time. The teachers came in on Saturday mornings
to work a couple of hours with our state exam class. The teachers gave the
students a kiss at the parent/teacher meeting when the students were presented
with their report cards. The 5emeAF had to wait until today to await the results
from the government of their passing to secondary school.

The teachers are
proud to have students willing to work extra hard to complete 2 years of
education in 1 year.
